[Solved] Emby showing old libraries

[Okeur75 7]

Hi all,

 

I removed my "Music" library from Emby but it still does appear on the main screen and in the left panel (see screenshots below).

Is it a bug or do I need to do something else ?

 

(Emby is running version 3.2.70.0 and the server has been restarted)

 

Regards,

 

Edit : To remove from your main screen a library you deleted, you have to do a "Scan All Libraries" from the control panel.

Hi, please try running a library scan. Thanks!

Ok it worked.

 

So when you delete a library, you have to do a "Scan All Libraries" to make your recently deleted library disapeared.

Scanning a single library does not work, you have to "Scan All Libraries".

 

Maybe this is something that could be patched in a future release

Patch what? How would you scan a library if it's been removed?

 

When you remove a library the server will actually start a full scan, so the only way you could have missed out on this is if you stopped the scan.

Ok ok sorry for the offense you seem to have taken...

Let's say it's working and the bug I experienced was just an isolated bug.

 

How would you scan a library if it's been removed?

When I say "Scanning a single library does not work" of course I mean scanning another library than the one you just removed. In my case I tried to scan only the Movie library to see if Emby would remove the Music library from the main menu, but it did not. So I triggered a full rescan with the "Scan all libraries" button and it worked.

No scan of all libraries has been triggered when I removed the Music library, and I did not stop anything. But again, maybe just a bug, something failing at the exact same time of the trigger, I don't know...

 

Nevermind, it's working now, it's what matters.

Thanks for the info. I just tested removing a library and it initiated a full scan as expected.
